According to the report, three key factors have contributed to confusion about the structure of and access to the digital public library ecosystem:
- Essential terms like "reading," "library use," and "circulation" should be consistently and transparently defined.
- The impact of current digital licensing terms on authors: midlist, bestselling, and self-published.
- The role of Big Five publishers in setting licensing terms for public libraries.
- How Amazon’s dominance in the audiobooks market influences audiobook library access, impacting audiobook authors, publishers, and narrators.
- Gen Z and millennials borrow extensively from digital collections but are less aware that digital library lending apps are connected to their local library.
